It seems that board uses the SiS 620/5595 chipset. PCChips old download page has a LAN driver: https://web.archive.org/web/20061020193316fw_ … d-bios.asp#M741

If you want to use the onboard sound or graphics (assuming it has either) you should be able to find them on this page: https://web.archive.org/web/20061020193306fw_ … 2.asp#socket478

They don't have the exact same versions I have, that I posted above. And I am not sure any of these would support what I do have.
The direct page link to downloads is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20061020193255fw_ … port-driver.asp

Just to put it in text, the gear I have is:
- Display: SiS 620 (available at above-linked page)
- IDE: SiS 5513 Dual PCI IDE Controller
- LAN: DAVICOM 9102 PCI (available at above-linked page)
- Sound: CMI 8338/C3DX PCI (Driver for CMI 8738 seems to support it)
- USB: SiS 7001

So I am missing those other three.

Well Driverguide says the 8738 driver will support my 8338 sound chip, so I will try that.
Also saying the IDE will be supported by this file

With my PCChips M930 (SiS 645) when I install Win98 I found that I need the SiS IDE driver (the default one works, but the port does have better bandwidth with the SiS driver), and there's an AGP driver that I install, though I've not done a performance check of before/after to see if it nets me any performance gain over the default driver that 98 installs. I found a driver for the LAN, but I'm not using it, and I found that having it enabled with the driver installed causes a noticeable delay in getting to the desktop as it apparently searches for a network. I found a driver for the onboard sound, but only one channel works so I disabled it and use a sound card instead. For USB I use the NUSB driver that you can find linked here, it works very well: Generic Win98SE Installation & Setup Guide

Welp this is why I would like to find the original CD delivered with this board, but it seems it's nowhere to be found.

I'm going to image the current ME install and try to install 98SE from scratch and see how these frankenstein drivers I found work.

That's not a driver issue, but normal Win98 behaviour. You'd get this with any NIC.
